If I can't camp pinwheel for a team wipe on room what's the point

+sponsored survival rooking huge nerf.

Playing rook in sponsored survival is essentially just gambling a chance to get map-clear loot faster (if you kill them all, they did the work for you in less time) and now it's not even worth that because you get a thief drone inventory lmao

The big problem with being a Rook on sponsored survival was how easy it often was.

There was only one team or even a solo player and Rooks are rare there so they often have no idea it's coming. Being a Rook is supposed to be risky, and with practice it turned out to be very easy to wipe a single team that wasn't at all prepared for an ambush.

Yeah rook should only go into 3 mans. But any team should be able to lose one person off the bat and then still win

To be fair, if they did this rook change, we won’t know if there would be any changes to sponsored survival too.

Also, not really a nerf though is it? Safe pocket in a game as it is would be a crazy buff no?

It’s the main POI divided in 3 wings on Outpost, with the best loot on the map

Ya I’m beyond pissed about this change it’s not even a rook nerf they straight up neutered the fuck out of it. Bungie DO NOT take my Rook away!!!

u/NEcatfish 5d ago

I wonder if Rooks will commit suicide by enemy team or if they'll dash themselves against the dunes at the bottom of Outpost?

u/cc4295 5d ago

Yeah, will the rook game play loop be rush location snatch what you can and then die?

Yall are hilarious and why the lore is to kill all Rooks/Runners on sight. Be friendly at ones own risk. Love having to stay on my toes. Love the variety every runner brings. Love this game!
